More about the East Piazza, Covent Garden

A visit to Covent Garden is a must, whether you intend to shop, sightsee or soak in the carnival atmosphere. The focal point of Covent Garden, the market, has dominated the area ever since the Middle Ages when monks tended their market garden here. Since the 19th century the market has expanded. Watch out for mime artists - harmless but irritating.
The Garden is a mecca for shop-hoppers because of the variety available here. High Street outlets include Oasis, French Connection, Next, Hobbs, Marks & Spencer and Mango. Menswear is available at Diesel, Replay, Firetrap and for the smarter guy, Paul Smith. There are a huge number of women's fashion stores and Neal Street, which runs out of the Piazza, is probably the best shoe shopping street in the capital, with numerous trendy outlets including Office, Foot Locker and Size. If (perish the thought!) you tire of clothes shopping there are scores of excellent spots for a coffee. If you're still keen to shop remember to pay a visit to the excellent Kite Shop or have a fiddle around in the Gadget Shop.
To get to Neal Street turn LEFT when you leave Covent Garden station, cross over the road and then go around the side of Marks and Spencer.
To get to Covent Garden Market turn RIGHT when you leave the station which leads straight to the Piazza and the Market Hall.

I just wanted to say a huge THANK YOU for all your tremendously patient help over the last few months. We had a really successful conference, and all the reports I heard of the hotel and the whole experience were really positive. I do hope we weren’t too much trouble, especially with all the constant changes of numbers etc! Do just let me know if there’s still any follow-up to be done, but otherwise thanks again for your great work

Huge thanks to you once again, I tried to find a group hotel deal online but was unable to; LondonTown really did an excellent job

In the midst of the peak tourist season, LondonTown within 24 hours managed to find me three alternatives for a group business booking in central London, all at great rates. It would have taken me days to do this on my own, even if I’d known all the hotels to approach. Great time and money saving, thanks LondonTown!
